Tuscany horseback riding: everything you need to know

Horseback riding is an activity for everyone. To practice it, you must be willing to build a trusting relationship with the horse, respect it and enter its world. Guided rides are also suitable for those who have never ridden a horse before. In this case, before setting off, an experienced guide suggests the best ways to approach the horses and gives a short introductory lesson to explain the basic rules of horseback riding.

Horseback riding in Tuscany: the best places to visit

Florence can be a great starting point for visiting Tuscany by horse. The elegant farmhouses, vineyards and rolling hills of Chianti make this area one of the most beloved in the Tuscan region. To capture the true essence of this land, a horseback ride in Chianti can be combined with a typical lunch or wine tasting.

In the Siena area, it is possible to go on horseback tours to San Gimignano or to other medieval villages with unique charm. Not far from the capital, you can also explore the Crete Senesi and the Val d’Orcia, with the long rows of cypress trees typical of the most beautiful Tuscan postcards.

The Maremma is perfect for going horseback riding by the sea. Valgraziosa, around Pisa, offers scenic routes in the Tuscan countryside. While Lunigiana and Garfagnana are the most suitable spots for those who want to immerse themselves in the wilderness.

Plan your horseback riding vacation: discover the beauty of Maremma

The Maremma Park, in the territory of Grosseto, is a protected natural area of great value. From the plains to the coast, the Maremma is a continuous source of surprises. Here the equestrian tradition has been widespread since the time of the butteri, the typical Maremma shepherds who tamed herds of cattle while riding a horse.

The best horseback riding tours in Maremma start from Castiglione della Pescaia, Follonica, and Orbetello and are ideal for those who want to ride by the sea. Moving inland, on the other hand, there are stupendous horseback riding trails in the Alta Maremma and the Colline Metallifere. Departing from Montieri, we travel through forests, hills, farmhouses and ancient rural villages for a hike in full Maremma style.

The best horseback riding tours by the sea

The Maremma is the ideal location for enjoying wonderful horseback rides by the sea and within the fragrant maritime pine forests, especially at sunset, when the scenery becomes even more impressive. Orbetello and Castiglione della Pescaia are among the best starting points for tours with panoramic views of Argentario and the Tuscan Archipelago.

How much does it cost to go horseback riding in Tuscany cost?

Prices for horseback riding in Tuscany depend on the starting location, the length of the trail, and the type of experience. It starts at 35 euros per person for a 1.5-hour ride on an itinerary suitable for all levels. Alternatively, a private horseback tour with tasting or lunch at a farmhouse is priced at 160 euros per person.

Gift a horseback riding tour in Tuscany

02 Feb 2026 | Horse trekking in the Bandite di Scarlino Natural Reserve

First experience on horseback

I did this experience with my fiancé for our anniversary, as neither of us had ever been on a horse before. We were very lucky: after days of rain we found a beautiful day. Sara was really nice and super helpful: she explained everything to us calmly before we left and always kept an eye on each of us, making sure everything went well. The horses are well-trained, perfect even for those who, like us, were first-timers. The scenery was spectacular and the two hours flew by, which was really enjoyable. We can't wait to do it again, maybe even when we can go swimming!

beautiful

It was an exceptional experience, the guide super nice and the scenery beautiful. My boyfriend and I booked the excursion for 10am on 29 December and it was just us, the frost covering the landscape was nothing short of breathtaking. I had ridden before, he never but we both had a great time. The horses were wonderful. We definitely recommend it.

20 Jan 2026 | Scenic horseback ride in the Tuscan Maremma

An authentic moment in contact with horses, absolutely to be repeated

A really beautiful and exciting experience. The horse riding was very pleasant and well organised. Special thanks to the guide Gaia, who was attentive and professional: she made us feel at ease straight away and accompanied us with great passion. It was very interesting to get to know the different characters of the horses: each one is unique, which made the experience even more engaging and fun. An activity that we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves horses and wants to experience something special and sincere.

12 Jan 2026 | Horseback riding through olive groves and vineyards in the province of Florence

Wonderful place and wonderful horses

I booked a 2-hour walk for my girlfriend's birthday. Amazing. I'd like to give 10 stars, but you can't.... Everyone at the stables is helpful and friendly: always nice, but they gave us a warmth that made us feel at home, as if we were among family. The horses are stars: for me, who have never ridden a horse, it felt like I had ridden for a lifetime. I would recommend and invite anyone to try a similar experience for beautiful scenery and immense joy in their hearts.

01 Jan 2026 | Panoramic horseback ride in the Pistoia hills with aperitif

2-hour walk with aperitif - highly recommended!

I went with my husband to treat him to his first time on a horseback. The experience was wonderful. On the ride, in addition to teaching us every detail of how to ride a horse, they also entertained us by explaining what we could see from above. We had the package including a 2-hour ride with an aperitif. The guys took memorable photos for me and my boyfriend (always while we were on horseback) at every step we took or needed they were there with us. They are super warm and welcoming. As soon as we returned to their Ranch they sat us down on the veranda and offered us an aperitif with a view of the place. While we were talking, they also showed us around their barn, explaining in detail all their passion from where it originated and that they still cultivate it with love and dedication. So yes, as an experience I would 100% recommend it. Absolutely to do it again!
